FAMILY EVENT AT THE SIGAL MUSEUM
Saturday, April 12
1:00-3:00 p.m.

EASTON, PA (March 31, 2025) – Children’s book author Kay Haring will be reading her acclaimed picture book, Keith Haring: The Boy Who Just Kept Drawing at the Sigal Museum on Saturday, April 12, from 1:00-3:00 p.m., as part of the Second Saturday Art Lab series. She will do a Q&A afterwards about the life and art of her brother Keith Haring, iconic Pop artist and Kutztown native son, with books available for purchase and signing. There will also be a hands-on art activity to accompany the reading and to get everyone’s creative inspiration flowing.

Education Program Coordinator Beth Krumholz shares:

“We are delighted to present this family-friendly event in conjunction with our exhibition that explores the extraordinary life of Tim Hare, Easton architect, artist, and LGBTQ+ activist. Tim was a driving force in historic preservation and community revitalization in Easton after urban renewal. He saw Easton ‘the way it could be,’ just as Keith Haring believed that ‘children know something that most people have forgotten’.”

Come spend an afternoon basking in the creativity and inspiration of these two visionaries. All ages are welcome. Free admission.
